Restarting the computer
Certain conditions require that you reset the system. For example, if:
■
You change certain computer settings.
■
An error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard
commands.
There are three ways to reset the computer system:
1. Select Restart from the
Turn Off Computer
window in the
start
box.
2. If the computer is already on, press Ctrl + Alt + Del .
3. Press the power button and hold it down for five seconds. Wait 10 to
15 seconds, then turn the power on again by pressing the power
button.
Restoring the preinstalled software
If preinstalled files are damaged, use the Product Recovery CD-ROM or
the TOSHIBA Tools & Utilities CD-ROM to restore them.
Restoring the complete system
To restore the operating system and all preinstalled software, follow the
steps below.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost. Make sure you have a backup copy of
your data, before you perform a complete system recovery.
1. Load the Product Recovery CD-ROM in the drive and turn off the
computer’s power.
2. Hold down the F12 key and turn on the power. When the TOSHIBA
logo appears, release the F12 key.
3. Use the left or right cursor key to select the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
in the display menu.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. If your computer came with additional software installed, this software
can not be recovered from the Recovery CD. Re-install these
applications (e.g. Works Suite, DVD Player, Games, etc) separately
from other media.
Restoring TOSHIBA utilities and drivers
If Windows is working properly, individual drivers or applications can be
separately restored. Use the Tools & Utilities CD-ROM according to
instructions in the booklet contained in the CD box to reinstall TOSHIBA
utilities and drivers.
